Title: THS subframe solid bushes.
Post by: nicky on January 11, 2014, 11:51:35 pm

Fitted these to my subframe the other day along with a new clutch and I'm getting juddering/vibration right through the car. Any 1 else fitted these solid bushes to there subframe and had the same problem?

Cheers

Talking about the dogbone mount?
It will get better over a few thousand miles.

It does get better, but recently they seem to be harsher. I used to have the THS then moved to vibratechnics which is far smoother with hardy any vibration. I run all four vibratechnics mounts too.
